Samoa Joe to make his In-ring return at NXT Takeover 36
Even though Joe made his return to NXT, the GM of NXT, William Regal, constrained him to not indulge in any physical battles with any of the superstars in the NXT locker room unless provoked. Unfortunately, Samoa Joe couldn’t contain himself from not getting involved when he felt that the current NXT Champion Karrion Kroos was heavily disrespecting William Regal.

Joe, who confronted Kroos about the issue, teased a match with him if things don’t change. During a recent episode of NXT, Karrion attacked Joe when he was working as the special guest referee for the match between Johnny Gargano and Kroos. During this week’s episode, a fuming Joe was waiting for the arrival of Kroos, but the NXT Champion attacked William Regal instead.

Karrion Kroos, who is the current NXT Champion, recently made his debut for WWE RAW. The two-time NXT Champion had a disastrous debut as he was defeated by the WWE legend Jeff Hardy in a one-on-one match. Kroos’ debut for RAW was undoubtedly not a one-night thing as multiple reports suggest Kroos will drop his NXT title to Joe and then be permanently shifted to RAW.
The writing is on the wall, and all the signs suggest that Samoa Joe is destined to become the next NXT Champion unless WWE decides to shock the audience by keeping Kroos as the champion. A victory on NXT Takeover 36 will be the third time Joe ends up being the NXT Champion.
